California wildfires: Number of missing people rises to 228

Officials said the bodies of five people were found in burned-out homes and the sixth was found in a vehicle in northern California'scamp fire, Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea told reporters. That blaze virtually burned the town of Paradise to the ground, destroying thousands of homes and structures.

Many bodies recovered from the Camp Fire were found inside or near homes or in vehicles, officials said.

The devastation was so complete in some neighborhoods that "it's very hard to determine whether or not there may be human remains there", Honea said.

Authorities called in a mobile DNA lab and anthropologists to help identify victims of the most destructive wildfire in Californian history.

Almost 9,000 firefighters, many from out of state, were battling to suppress the Camp Fire, the Woolsey Fire and a handful of smaller Southern California blazes, backed by squadrons of water-dropping helicopters and airplane tankers.

The largest of the two blazes, the Woolsey Fire, grew to 85,500 acres on Sunday after spreading south from Simi Valley in Ventura County to Agoura Hills in Los Angeles County, where the flames jumped the 101 Freeway and continued burning toward the Malibu area.
